"Tea Mountain Caprice" - Program Note

"This piece is for orchestra. It's a single-movement piece, inspired by a Hakka folk song, the Tea-Picking Song, and based on its melodic fragments as a motif. The music primarily depicts the busy scene of tea farmers during the tea-picking season. The piece begins with a rapid sequence of sixteenth notes played by the strings, introducing the tea farmers preparing for their activities. During the tea-picking process, there is singing and laughter, boosting morale and alleviating fatigue. Finally, the music transitions into a cheerful and bright rhythm, entering a joyful atmosphere of celebrating the tea harvest."
